The life of the brilliant Asuna Yuuki is turned upside down when, on the advice of a dear friend, she takes part in the release of a VRMMORPG set in a purely fantasy world. This is how the story told in the film begins Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night available under the new anime of October 2022 on Amazon Prime Video.
Conceived as a deepening of the events narrated in the first novels from Kirito’s point of view, the progressive series changes perspective and gives way the lead role for Asuna Yuuki. Eager to escape from her overly demanding and strict mother and the monotony of her life, Asuna enters the world of Aincradonly to discover, like the rest of the players, that it’s a plan by the game master, Kayaba Akihiko, to attract people and make them fight for their lives in the world he’s created.
If you are defeated in-game and die, you actually die in reality as well. The only way out is Go to the top floor of the flying fortress and defeat the boss Inside. A goal that leads Asuna to meet Kirito, the game’s beta test, which is now in the same situation as the other players. Together the two will be the protagonists of discoveries and adventures, to say the least spectacular, that will continue in the sequel Sword Art Online Progressive: Scherzo of a Dark Dusk, arriving in Japan October 22, 2022.
